I'd also recommend you pin the major version of the base image.
At least something like ubuntu:noble and debian:bookwork-slim to give you some control over it.

I'm less keen to do this (at least for now, due to maintenance reasons). Users who want pinning should make their own images. Installing pkgx is trivial.

New Ubuntu and Debian major versions happens on every 2 years... it shouldn't be a big problem lol.

Ubuntu LTS is 2 years. Ubuntu releases a new version every April and October, iirc.

Yeah, but I meant how frequent the ubuntu:latest and debian:latest tag changes, which is Ubuntu LTS and Debian Stable based.

Try building node with these images. It will fail.

I see now.
This could be a problem if some user uses or extends from the pkgx docker image to do things like building their own C++ projects.
Maybe we can consider that use case a stretch. Also, doing a FROM pkgxdev/pkgx \n RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y libstdc++ is probably not a big deal for these users.
But I agree the best would be if it "just works", without having to install extra dependencies.
I'm glad to learn that this is being addressed in the new manifests, which would mean the containers need not to ship things like libstdc++. Very exciting. :)

For now we are replacing the default image with
debianwhich really is a breaking change
PS: the previous default image was already debian :P

the previous image was debian yes, but it preinstalled some apt packages which the new one does not.
I’d like to be able to ship pkgx in alpine or even just a container with a kernel. But we need glibc and probably some logic in pkgx itself so it doesn't install glibc if it doesn't need to since that is excessive.

I completely agree. It would be awesome (and it would make a lot of sense) to have a distroless image with just pkgx.
